Ep. 227 – The Six Sense Bases, Satipatthana Sutta Series Pt. 24

Joseph Goldstein explores the six internal and external sense bases of consciousness, explaining its selfless and contingent nature. The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism. This episode is the twenty-fourth part of an in-depth 48-part weekly lecture series from Joseph Goldstein that delves into every aspect of the Satipatthana Sutta. If you are just now jumping into the Satipatthana Sutta series, listen to Insight Hour Ep. 203 to follow along and get the full experience! This week, Joseph offers wisdom on: Mindfulness of the patterns of experience Internal and external sense spheres The mind as a sixth sense The way we attach the self to all we experience Seeing objects as being conditioned and selfless Our sense organs and paying attention to how we experience senses The contingent nature of consciousness Freeing the mind by becoming disenchanted Recognizing defilements when they arise, and letting them go How we often push the river of experience rather than allowing it to flow Maintaining openness of the mind without preferences “What’s difficult is to see all of these sense objects and the sense bases, to see and understand them as being conditioned, selfless, not I, not mine, not belonging to anyone. Not only seeing the sense object and sense base as selfless, but seeing the knowing of them as selfless.”– Joseph Goldstein Grab a copy of the book Joseph references throughout this series, Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization, HERE This talk was originally published on Dharmaseed See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
